☆ Gospel:Matthew 1:18-24
18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.
19
And Joseph, her husband, being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to put her away privately.
20
But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.
21
And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.
22
Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,
23
See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.
24
And Joseph did as the angel of the Lord had said to him, and took her as his wife;

☆ Isaiah 7:10-14
10
And Isaiah said again to Ahaz,
11
Make a request to the Lord your God for a sign, a sign in the deep places of the underworld, or in the high heavens.
12
But Ahaz said, I will not put the Lord to the test by making such a request.
13
And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?
14
For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.

☆ Romans 1:1-7
1
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,
2
Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,
3
About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,
4
But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,
5
Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6
Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:
7
To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
